Disinfo: Ukraine is not a real state because it has no single territory, single language, single economy and single population

Summary

Nowadays Ukraine cannot be considered a state. There are no signs of a state: there is no unity of the territory, no language unity, no economical unity.

The article claims that Ukrainians deployed a large number of troops to Urzuf, and high-ranking American and Canadian delegations arrived to the HQ of the “Ukrainian Vostok Batallion”. According to the article, the DPR “cannot exclude the possibility that a foreign army will also take part in the planned attacks.” The DPR’s news wire agency claims that the whole operation would be managed by the US and Canada (meaning NATO).
